Hi all,
Regarding the pythons potential as a fixie: Imagine the difficulties starting off in a gear high enough to carry you swiftly downhill.
Perhaps for show purposes though. As Dirk says: doing track stands and going in reverse.
Saturday we are five unicycling addicts that will defy the cold weather and make a 40 km tour on our 36-inch unicycles. This is the closest I come to fixed gear cycling at the moment.

Me and Olaf,

had been speculating about this. May be it would be possible to do a
"stand" with the python, or even reverse ;-)
